Getting there:
Just north of Cedar City, take the Enoch/Minersville I-15 exit #62. Go north
on U-130 (towards Minersville) 2.6 miles, then turn left on Midvalley Road. Drive 6 miles straight west.
Pass the "welcome area" which is the first turnout. Now watch
for the sign indicating the Mountain Bike Trailhead. Turn right on a gravel
road
into the trailhead. The ride starts behind the kiosk and the picnic table. Copyright 2003 Mad Scientist Software Inc. Use this trail guide at your own risk. |
